I tried all latest versions. 1.41 and 1.42 show black screen and 5.0.X versions just crash..
Thank you for explaining the issue, let's hope you find a solution one day.
By the way, I think it's possible to use C3 build service. You need to export to Cordova, then edit config.json like this:
"plugins": [
{
"id": "cordova-plugin-facebook4",
"version": null,
"variables": [["APP_ID", "1231232132"], ["APP_NAME", "My App"], ["FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION", "4.40.0"]]
},
Then use C3 Export Manager to build an apk. The result is pretty much identical to what you get with Cordova CLI.
